Right, but with whose money?
Doesn't apply, everybody knows what's going on already.
> Comply in a maximally obstructive way.
Doesn't apply, the whole point is that the executive wants to obstruct things, and that's what we're talking about fighting against.
> Comply just enough to not get fired but not as much as someone who may be more inclined to please their boss.
Doesn't apply, you can't half-fire the specified people, or give just a little bit of money to the people you've been instructed not to fund. You can comply, or not, and it's not going to be any kind of secret which way you chose.
If you want to go out in a blaze of glory and leave the building a day later than you otherwise would, with less dignity, go for it.
> Enlist other opposition and find ways to multiply your obstructive compliance into other departments.
It's just not that kind of role.

"Obstructive" in this scenario results in the organization keeping functioning effectively. Obstructive of something destructive allows it to keep existing.
Somebody at Godaddy probably did this before you thought of the domain in the past, which is why its in their network and rejecting bids. It knows the incoming bids. It's sitting on it until someone like you came along.
I use porkbun, no idea if they've stayed course in honesty but I believe so.
Also if you're looking at GoDaddy era webhosts, they all own most of the market. Bluehost, Hostgator (EIG), etc are all grouped with a ton of other webhosts for that low end $10 market.
So, stay away from those.
Registrars are a scam, too. And stupid tlds.
I'm not actually sure that they are not involved in sniping, or even that others are involved. But it's my best bet on it.
IMO, Hanlon's razor "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity" is a narrative which was created to condition the masses into accepting being conned repeatedly.
On the topic, I subscribe to Grey's law "Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice" so I see idiots as malicious. In the very best case, idiots in positions of power are malicious for accepting the position and thus preventing someone more competent from getting it. It really doesn't matter what their intent is. Deep down, stupid people know that they're stupid but they let their emotions get in the way, same emotions which prevent them from getting smarter.
That is to say some of the incompetent are so incompetent they can’t distinguish between their incompetence and an actual expert. This is exhibited very publicly in some contestants of the American Idol genre of shows.

1. When getting a new CPAP I had to reduce the pressure from 15 to 14 or 13 to mitigate the suffocating feeling. I still get my normal 0.5 events per hour while I’m use. I also got a different type of mouth and nose mask which may have contributed to needing to adjust the pressure.
2. I was trying to mitigate the colder air being distracting by enabling the humidifier and tube heater. With the humidifier level too high at 5 I got a suffocating feeling, reduced it down to 2 or 3 and the air was warmer while not feeling suffocating. 3. I also turned off the dynamic pressure on breathe out as the timing felt off and would cause a hitch in breathing, so I have just plain constant pressure.
The name of the game is tweaking and experimenting.
Of course there's no logo saying the chocolate is made with child slavery, I hope you didn't mean to be snarky here.
There are initiatives to try to alleviate the problem, the only example I have in mind right now is Tony's Chocolonely (which explains the problem and their solution on their website) but I'm sure others could come up with other initiatives.
The trends from top companies of chocolate is that they try to do as little as possible to alleviate the problem of child slavery in chocolate production.
How about compensating homes for their generation when needed. Distributed energy that is co-located to demand, thus reducing T&D costs. This is the idea of VPPs and DERs. Obviously goes against what monopolistic IOUs want.
